A Good Joke or a Poor one.

4 few weeks ago the Arson Advocate
quoted the Portland Advertiser as IL Re
publican newspaper. The RrroErrE re.
marked that if this was Il joke il was II
good one. The Advertiser took occasion
to say lit i, a poor joke. for it j. twitling
upon facts, and further states that the
Advertiser Is Il Republican newspaper and
was before the SOMERSET REPORTER was
evolved out of the Skowhegan Clarion. -
We had always regarded the Portland
Advertiser rs "A very ably edited ncv>pa-
per with unusually high literary merit but
thoroughly Independent in politics, and,
upon inquiry of late among a large mum
Der of citizens of Maine, professional and
busines, men, find that in regard TO it,
political status this opinion i widely
held.
The three line item in the REPORTER
seems 10 have taken the Advertiser ION
the raw" although Mt the time it was
written, we had not the remotc~t idea the
Advertiser would notice it, much less
be disturbed by it, and the half column OF
valuable editorial space devoted to an cN-
libit of the political tenet, and practices
'of the Ad1ert,cr, some ten day. ago was
genuine surprise To us.

GENERAL NEW S.

Tuesday last the House by Il party vote
declared the seat vacant which thus far
has been held by W. \. Price of Rhode
Island. ON Wednesday the Senate re-
jccted the nomination of Matthews for
register of deeds for the District of Co
lumbia This is the second time he has
been rejected fer this office. The House
passed the river and harbor bill without
debate. Secretary Manning denies the rl-
NOR that he intends to resign his cabinet
position
The subcommittee Of the House For
eign Affairs Committee is still at work
on a bill combining what seem to be the
most desirable features of the Senate and
House bills concerning the fishery ques-
ton, and expects to be able to report at
the next meeting of the full committee on
Tuesday.
The present attitude of the Canadian
government is not calculated to make the
people of this country think the more

been adopted any too soon. Fishermen

Another great strike of the 1000 coal
miners employed along the Monongahela

per bushel. If a favorable reply is not
received by next Wednesday, a general
stI ike will be ordered.
Three Republicans of Washington

The last number of the Journal of
the Royal Asiatic Society" On. S. vol.
XIX contains a short paper by Professor
de Lacouperle on the Miryeks, or stone
men OF Corea. These are huge half
length human figures. carved In stone,
and looked upon as relics Of a religion
OF former times. Those described by
Mr.. Carries In his paper on Corca, read
before the Royal Geographical Society
last year, arc about twenty-five feet high,
cut out of some large boulders in the
middle OF fir wood in hillside. The
largest hitherto known IL az Unjin, and
is shown in plate prefixed TO the paper.
IL stands about sixty-two feet high and
the body and head resemble those OF the
idols In Buddhist temples. A column
about ten feet high runs up from the
head, giving support 70 an oblong slab
about the same length; on this stands q
smaller column supporting another slab,
and from the corners Of the two bells are
pendent by chains.
